Question

why would an administrator want to break a web application into microservices spread across separate containers? microservices offer more security than a monolith application. microservices require less maintenance than monolith applications microservices can be scaled and modified easier than a monolith application microservices are significantly cheaper to maintain than a monolith application

Explanation:

Microservices are designed to be independently scalable and modifiable. Monolith applications are single - tier, so scaling or modifying parts is hard. Microservices, split into services, can scale individual services (e.g., a user - authentication service) and modify them without affecting the whole app. Security isn't necessarily better, maintenance isn't less (more services mean more to manage), and cost to maintain isn't always cheaper. So the key advantage is scalability and modifiability ease.

Answer:

C. Microservices can be scaled and modified easier than a monolith application
